REFERRING to the rejection of the
Matthews nomination, the New York
Fireman NEGRO organ says: 1T will
be Il long time before the Senators who
opposed this nomination hear the last of
it. it will be cold day when We permit
Senator Iugails aud his republican cons
peers to forget the original reason be
gave for opposing the nOminalion-that
is, because the republicans don't like 4
democratic negro, and the democrats
don't like any negro at all The fate of
Colored citizens does not hang on the
likes or dislikes of the republican or the
democratic senators; and the attempt to
dictate TO colored men what the shade of
their political opinions shall be. and to
define arbitrarily their political conduct,
will be resented and combatted to the
bitter end AS free men and citizens we
shall adopt any political opinions and
affiliations We please, aud defy the right
of democrats or republican leaders to de-
fine our opinions or to shape our con-
duct fer US

IT is related of the present Senator In
gals that when John A. Martin. the pres
ent Governor of Kansas, then postmaster
ut Atkinson, kas, went away on pollt>
zeal Journeys, Ingalls, edited his paper,
the Champion On one occasion when
he was editing Martins paper, the city
council voted an appropriation to enter
tain Gen. Grant. The man who was
editing the opposition paper in the alb
sence of the proprietor opposed this.
Ingalls, published savage editorial in
which he said that the opposition paper
was being edited by a Missouri rebel who
had come to tell LOYAL Kansas what to do.
This so stirred the passions of the Atch-
ison people that peace was not restored
until after the publisher of the DEM
ocratic paper came home and discharged
his obnoxious editor.

TORONTO Globe; A bill has been iutro-
duced in the Illinois legislature which is
said to have good hopes of becoming a
law. It provides that NONRESIDENT aliens
shall not be allowed TO possess land with
in the state, aud that any such real prop
erty found three years after the passage
OF this act shall be cOntiScated by the
state This may seem severe, but it is
aimed at the cure of a state OF things
which unfortunately has got a fOothold
in several states of the union. and for the
eradication OF which the severest meas
ures are fully justihable The bill owes
its origin to certain investigations, which
showed that au absentee Irish landlord
named Scully has contrived to estab>
fish the same accursed feudalistic system
of land0rdism into several states in the
union. where he owns large tracts of
country, as has made Irish landlOrdism a
kissing and a bywod over the whole
civilized world In Illinois he has about
six hundred tenants. whom he has got to
take his land on conditions that render
them almost absolute serfs. He, in the
meanwhile, riots in London on the fruits
of their labor. This bill, which has been
introduced by Mr.. Piatt,o of Henry county.
is avowedly aimed at this man Scully and
the people of Illinois will do themselves
honor if they determine that the curse of
absentee Irish landoTdism shall not be
allowed to continue and extend its blight
ing influence over their fair state.

Fighting a Street Railway Company.

BosToS, March 21.-The beaten strikers
on the South Boston and Cambridge Street
railways are not securing unemployment as
they expected when the strikes were declared
off, and they are in much worse position
than before taking such action; for during
the time the strike was in progress financial
assistance to a considerable extent was sent
them by sister organizations, but at present,
Notwithstanding the fact that many Of the
former employees are in need of assistance,
none is being sent them In view Of these
facts it has been decided to call mass meet
ing of organized labor at Faneuil hall on
Monday, 2Sth inst, TO devise some means of
bringing these two corporations to terms
One plan proposed with this end in view is
to organize line of coaches to run in OPP
position to the railways the stock to be held

BOSTON, March 2l.-Dr. Whittier, of
Brookliue, has examined during the last few
months into the condition of the eyes of boys
in the upper classes of the high schools The
physician states that of those examined over
80 per cent. have some affection of the eye,
as follows: myopia, "a per cent; hyperopia,
Il per cent; other infflictions, per cent
"Of these "A per cent were astigmatic to
some extent, says the doctor. II propose
to examine the same pupils eyes one year
from now to see what changes have taken
place, especially in the myopic eyes So far
find that nearsightednsss seems to in crease
in proportion as our school system becomes
more complex, rs pupils are obliged to apply
them more to their work. A larger per
cent of myopic eyes are found in the city
than in village or country schools

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE
SEEMS TO BE A DIFFICULT MAN TO
DISCOVER.

Only Two of the Interstate Commits
sioners So Far Seisctetl-The May Mil
itary Festival IA Certain Success-Re-
corder Trotter's Hard Luck-Wanted.
Some Gunpowder
WASHINGTON CITY, March 2I-The latest
information obtainable about the personnel
of the interstate commerce commission
which has not yet been officially announced,
and probably will not be for several days
points not with certainty to even a single
name. 1t is quite generally believed, al
though not known, that the president has
positively decided upon two of tho five COM
missioners. These two are believed to be
e1 Congressman Morrison aud Judge Cooley.
The contest-for there has been contest
between southern men for place on the
commission has narrowed down to w. j..
Bragg, of Alabama, and Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Atkins, of Tennessee with in
dications very favorable to Mr.. Bragg.
Thus three of the five positions would seem
to be out of the reach of speculation and
provided for with three of four aspirants,
leaving two more-oaa for Democrat and
one for Republican-yet TO be determined
upon. For these places it is believed the
president favors John D, Herman, of New
York, Democrat, and ex-Congressman
Grape, of Massachusetts,, Republicau-the
latter as a substitute for Ex-Governor Rob-
inson, who declined to accept position on
the commission. Ex-Attorney General
Deyens, or W. L. kinsley, of Massachusetts,
are also mentioned as probable eastern
Republican members of the commission in
the event of Mr.. Crepe declining to serve.
Mr.. Smith VI Wes,l ha 4 a long interview
with the president Saturday. HIS law part
neF, W. f. Smith, ex-assistant secretary OF
| the treasury, was also in consultation with
the president Friday and Saturday. Cur.
rent gossip has it that Mr. Smith had been
sent for by the president and that the score.
| taryship of the treasury had been offered to
him. Those best informed, however, believe
| that if any significance is 10 tie attached tc
| Mr.. Weeds visit, it would be only for the
purpose of expressing al opinion from the
point of view of an experienced New Yorl
state politician.
